Motivation in the 21st Century

21st Century Organizations versus 20th Century Organizations

In the LDR Church Development Process we talk about the changes in organization and how this impacts the church.

Organization is just a way to help people to work more effectively together. My Friend, Josh Hebert, sent me link to a video by Dan Pink on “The Surprising science of Motivation.”

Career analyst Dan Pink examines the puzzle of motivation, starting with a fact that social scientists know but most managers don’t: Traditional rewards aren’t always as effective as we think. Listen for illuminating stories — and maybe, a way forward.

It is about 18 minutes long, but definitely worth watching

It is totally about the business world, but illustrates the differences in motivation used by 21st Century companies.
